About how long will a rebuilt idler arm last?

About how long should a rebuilt idler arm last? I've got 30K on mine and have had a recent alignment but I'm getting some uneven wear on the outside of my passenger tire. No I haven't rotated them in a while. I just want this set to go bad so I can get some new ones. I don't do much off-roading (unfortunately). Anyone have any ideas about how long this thing should last?

Thanks

That's a really hard question to answer. Lot's of things depend on the rebuider and other things like your truck !
You can be sure that it will last until you need to replace it.

Does it move unnecessarily when you have someone else turn the wheel ?
slop can be seen ! Do you have play in the steering wheel ? also a sign of
something worn and sloppy.
